Total Cost of Ownership Calculator

Cost-effective operation is a high priority for building owners and operators. And there may be significant opportunity to impact your bottom line—right above your head.

Your choice of roofing membrane can impact your operational costs throughout the roof's life. It's not just upfront installation—your roof's total cost of ownership (TCO) can fluctuate significantly based on initial cost, total maintenance cost, eventual replacement cost and service life.

How to Maintain Your Flat Roof and Extend Its Service Life

Use our TCO calculator to determine what your long-term roofing costs really are.

Input details for your facility below, and the calculator will generate comparative TCO results to represent your roof. Results are based on a study¹ of 680 million square feet of roof systems in 33,000 unique buildings.

Research shows that FiberTite^® Roof Systems could offer significant savings through reduced maintenance and longer service life compared to alternative single-ply roof systems. To determine TCO, researchers evaluated approximately 680 million square feet of various roofing systems from more than 33,000 unique buildings, spanning from 2002 to 2023.

From this data, they compared more than 6,500 roofs with FiberTite^® Roof Systems to objectively determine TCO against TPO, PVC and EPDM.
